In the summer of 2008 the Mathematics Department of the Pennsylvania State University will host a Research Experiences for Undergraduates site. Participants will be selected from qualified applicants. We encourage students to apply for both, Summer REU and our MASS program which runs in the Fall semester of each year. Participation in REU followed by MASS provides an opportunity for completing a more substantial long-term research project.
Application deadline is March 23, 2008.
The program will run for 7 weeks from July 2 to August 15, 2008. It will combine learning with research and include:
- one five-week mini-course
- Algebraic Geometry
Instructor: Yuri Zarhin, Professor of Mathematics
2nd to 6th weeks, Monday - Thursday, 11am-1pm
- Algebraic Geometry
- Weekly seminar run by the program coordinator Sergei Tabachnikov, Professor of Mathematics
- Research projects Brief description of projects
- MASS Fest, a two day conference Conference schedule
Each REU 2008 participant will recieve a stipend of $2,500, reimbursement for room and board, and travel reimbursement up to $500.
